I'm talking about Zope 2.  I haven't had a chance to fully explore
Zope 3, yet, but what little I have learned has all been good.  I suspect
they are probably using an automatic documentation approach now?
That certainly seemed to be the way they've been leaning.

The biggest problem would seem to be the discontinuity between 2 & 3,
but that's also probably the biggest asset, so there you go. ;-)
